night in Black creek. about four miles be
low Middleburg. When taken out of the
water 1t WINS discovered that the engineers
throat had been cut. and there was large
cash also extending down the left breast
across the heart. Mr. Hendricks notified
Justice Frisbee, of Hiddleburg, who took
charge of the body and held an inquest at
Nliddleburg. The jury returned verdict
OF murder by unknown parties The theory
is that the murderers went aboard TO scuttie
the boat. and the engineer waking up was
killed with razor and that his body was
towed up the river by skIff or bateau and
that the murdereIs then returned and scut-
the body OF the engineer must have been
towed up the river or carried in a small
boat.
The fishing smack Albert Haley, one of
the six missing vessels of Pensacola, is re-
ported safe at Mobile A telegram from
that city was received Tuesday night by S.
c. Cobb, stating the fact and asking news
of the Charles Henry, another one of the
missing fishermen. No particulars OF the
Haley's escape from destruction by the
storm have come to hand, but it is supposed
that she was pretty well to the west
ward put to sea in the northeaster,
and made Mobile when the gale abated.
Messrs. Warren a. Co., in case the Sarah
L. Harding does not put in an appearance
by Thursday, will institute a search for the
vessel or her remains. Mr.. Warren is of the
opinion that the Harding was to the east
ward of the cyclone, but reports from
Cedar Key are to the effect that the wind
at that point blew at the rate of seventy
five miles per hour and the vessel could not
therefore have been out of the weather.
Besides, the master of the Estella, which
came in last Tuesday morning, saw the
Harding on Monday night off the Cape st.
Bias buoy.
